Since then, Greep released his solo album The New Sound, Picton formed a new group, My New Band Believe, and Simpson began working with jazz musician Nala Sinephro and rapper Little Simz, appearing on their albums Endlessness (2024) and Lotus (2025) respectively. On January 12th, 2026, Rough Trade announced the passing of Kwasniewski-Kelvin, aged 26.
